Representaion Concering Books The Shadow Girl

Inspired by true events, a story of courage, survival, and a young girl who defies horrible odds to take control of her destiny.
 
The unnamed narrator escapes the dangerous imploding world of her parents and wider family in order to survive. Not wishing to be chewed up and spat out by the red light district she hides out in her local church, spends her weekends in the sand dunes on a Central Coast beach, and—with the help of her aunt's credit card—has the occasional stay in a five-star hotel. Most of her time on the run, though, she spends on the trains—generally sleeping in the shunting yards. When the trains become too dangerous she manages to find a derelict house in a leafy suburb and moves in with the possums and resident ghosts, ready to prove once and for all that she can take care of herself.

Evaluation Of Books The Shadow Girl

This book made me contemplate life and how good I actually have it. It made me appreciate what I had. It was a great read but between the middle and the end I lost a bit of interest because there wasn't much excitement or anything to pull me in. Overall I really liked the story and the way it was written.



really good book quite sad about a girl who is alone and ends up living on a train with a crazy child predator for an uncle

One day for a book of this length is something of an achievement for me. I just could not put it down. This doesn't happen often, either. Waiting for the train, I read. Standing, waiting to be served at the local uni Woolworths, I read. On the train home from uni, I read. And waiting to be picked up in the rain, from the train station, I read. Obviously being based in the Sydney suburbs, as much as the effort to erase all names and places has been done, Larkin captures a life-like story into 406

The Shadow Girl is a novel by Australian writer, John Larkin, that follows the story of a fourteen year old girl forced into homelessness due to her domestic situation at home. The story is beautifully narrated and the occasional changes in narrator help complete the story and complete the background of the main character.This is a moving book, tracing out the tale that is similar to so many others out there. This story also explores simple human compassion which may come from complete

This book was so good. I loved it so so so so so so so so so so so much. It was really amazing. I don't know what other people thought but I kind of felt like the author was saying something in the book about how there may be bad people but there are so many good people. Like there was Ms Taylor, the principle, the random old lady, Alistair, the bus stop guy, Cinderella and so many more people who helped her. Even Aunt Serena could sort of be seen as a good person. I just loved this book so so

*SPOILERS* Personally, I thought this novel was brilliant! It dealt with so much emotion and contemporary issues in the world. Obviously I could never fully relate to/empathise with the protagonist as she's not exactly the average kid next door (she doesn't have an actual house to live in most of the time!), however it was such a splendid read. I particularly loved the part near the end where there is a great plot twist, but I really wish Cinderella could start her 20s life at the very least.
